Silence Must Break the Dawn (Acrostic)

by stormingdance (Lessa)   Jul 24, 2018


Some shores are best unkempt
Intricate glass carvings and glass
light up my kaleidoscope eyes
Enchanting colors that capture
Nature's hushed rapture
Cathedrals within seashells
Enrapture my imaginary castle

with

Musical crescendos
Ushering in the waves
Striking the silence of
The morning empire

whose

Breaths quiver in the cold
Rioting storm's wake
Entrenching upon the shore
Altercations beg thy leave
Kindness, a drought I do bereave

where

Thoughtless voices become
Hearts and symphonies that
Erupt in laughter and forgiveness

breaking the

Darkness' final shadows
Announcing that love truly conquers
Weaving sunlight, radiating through
Newly birthed skies.

    I am a sucker for a form, any form. I love how a simple acrostic can read so powerfully.
    Each break in-between each stanza interrupts the flow and goes against the 'rule' of an acrostic poem. I love the imagery I feel like I am there and I love the fact that each stanza is almost a poem in its own right and that's why this poem gets my 10. (10 points)

    Another acrostic this week that deserves to be highlighted.
    the breaking words within the message on the left hand side ats creativity and I do love it when poet's add a special touch to the form.

    the word usage is breathtaking- "Nature's hushed rapture
    Cathedrals within seashells
    Enrapture my imaginary castle"

    ^^^^^ MERCY these lines are pretty!

    really love this elegant and unique poem!
